Kylie Minogue's friends wouldn't be surprised if she announced she's starting a family with boyfriend Joshua Sasse soon, according to an insider.

Kylie Minogue is apparently already thinking about starting a family with her new beau.

The 47-year-old singer began dating actor Joshua Sasse, 28, at the end of 2015 and the pair have been almost inseparable since. She previously admitted she's often thought about having children, and Joshua seems to be the man she wants them with.

"Kylie and Joshua are besotted with each other and she feels now she's in such a loving relationship there's no harm in thinking about having a family," an insider told Britain's Closer magazine. "She's prepared to think about surrogacy or adoption if having a baby naturally isn't an option anymore."

Kylie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and reports swirled at the time that she froze her eggs before starting treatment. Chemotherapy can negatively affect ovaries and so damage any eggs.

Although the couple look smitten with one another, the star's friends are reportedly worried she wants to take the next step too soon.

"Kylie's friends can see how loved-up she is with Joshua and are thrilled, but their relationship is still in the honeymoon stage and they're urging her not to rush into anything," the source added. "But friends say they know how much Kylie dreams of a happy ever after and won't be surprised if she has an announcement before too long."

It was only recently that another insider gushed about Kylie and Joshua's love life, and how much it differs from her previous relationships with the likes of French actor Olivier Martinez and Spanish model Andrés Velencoso.

“Kylie wants to take Josh to Portofino in Italy and he wants to take her to The Azores and Bali. They’ve clicked and feel like they’ve been together for years," the insider smiled. "Kylie’s delighted and says 2016 is going to be her best year yet."
